Well gij does provide the "java" alternative and people sometimes
accidentally use it. When they don't see any bugs they assume it
should work... I agree this should not be done for all bugs but Swing
support is a pretty major part of Java.

As for upstream: I probably considered the upstream to be claspath in
this case. Since menus worked fine in kaffe that also uses classpath I
thought that the bug must be debian related. It was a while back so I
can't really be sure. I did send most swing bugs directly to upstream
though:
